Who can join

Age: 18 and older, up to 50. Sex: any. Healthy volunteers: accepted.

You may qualify if…

• Healthy adult male or female volunteers ages ≥18 and ≤50 years old.
• American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) physical status 1.
• Able to provide informed consent, adhere to the study schedule, and complete all study assessments.

You may not qualify if…

• Allergy, hypersensitivity, intolerance, or contraindication to any of the study medications for which an alternative is not named in the protocol (eg, amide-type local anesthetics, opioids, bupivacaine, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs [NSAIDs], spinal anesthesia).
• Impaired renal or hepatic function (eg, serum creatinine level >2 mg/dL [176.8 μmol/L], blood urea nitrogen level >50 mg/dL [17.9 mmol/L], serum aspartate aminotransferase [AST] level >1.5 times the upper limit of normal [ULN], or serum alanine aminotransferase [ALT] level >1.5 times the ULN).
• Subjects at an increased risk for bleeding or who have a coagulation disorder (defined as platelet count less than 80,000 × 103/mm3).
• Concurrent painful physical condition that may require analgesic treatment (such as long-term, consistent use of opioids) in the post dosing period for pain and which may confound the post dosing assessments.
• Women of childbearing potential must have a documented negative pregnancy test at screening and must be confirmed on the day of drug administration. If postmenopausal, must have a documented Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH) test confirming menopause at screening.
• Currently pregnant, nursing, or planning to become pregnant during the study or within 30 days after completion of the study.
• Positive serology test result for Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV), Hepatitis B virus, or Hepatitis C virus.
• Clinically significant abnormal ECG that in the opinion of the investigator would preclude the subject from participation in the study.
• Previous participation in a Pacira study.
• History of, suspected, or known addiction to or abuse of illicit drug(s), prescription medicine(s), or alcohol within the past 2 years.
• Administration of an investigational drug within 30 days or 5 elimination half-lives of such investigational drug, whichever is longer, prior to study drug administration, or planned administration of another investigational product or procedure during the subject's participation in this study
